When you hear “shock collar” or “e-collar,” you probably think of it as an orthodontic tool. But how do we use it? It’s actually a powerful tool remuneration!

Here’s how it works:

Think of an e-collar like a “pager” that gives your dog a cue: “Hey, I’m here, and I have something more interesting than anything else you’re focusing on!” We use the vibration feature as a signal to your dog The signal, a slight buzz that says: “If you come to me, here’s a reward.”

It doesn’t take long for the dog to learn that I have all the good stuff—treats, praise, toys, and fun games. It didn’t take long for them to understand that coming back to me was where the party was!

Give your dog a choice

What makes this system so cool is that it’s all about choice. When we use an e-collar vibrating button, we are not “forcing” your dog to come back to us. Instead, we give them a choice:

Do they want to keep barking and staring at the other dog? Or do they want something better from us?

Initially, they didn’t pick us every time. They still think barking or “doing their own thing” is the best option. It doesn’t matter! We often lose the battle in the first or second game.

But here’s the magic:

Every time they feel a vibration, they are reminded that there is another option— better Options await us.

desire to connect

Game by game, we are planning decks that are beneficial to us. Every time they choose us and get a reward, it becomes easier and easier for your dog to make the decision. Eventually, they begin to crave what we have to offer rather than what circumstances tempt them to do.

I’ve seen dogs who bark when they see a child on a scooter, completely changing their state of mind. Now, when they spot the same “trigger” in the distance, they run to me before I can say a word!

They begin to associate the things that once stressed them out with something positive – think:

“Kids on motorcycles? That means playing with Ryan! Score!

Imagine what a huge win this will be for your dog, not just today, but for the rest of their lives. What about you? This is a stressor to worry about because you know your dog can make good decisions on his own.

Guess what else!

Your dog doesn’t need to be rewarded like this every time. One day, your dog (yes, your dog) will see one of their triggers and ignore it entirely Or looking at you like, “What should we do?”

Why does this system work so well?

We don’t just train behaviors; we also train behaviors. We are making connections. We are teaching your dog that connecting with you is more valuable than anything else. This is how we win your dog’s heart and gain their attention in any situation.

Through our approach, the e-collar becomes a means of communication rather than control. This is our tool to say, “Hey, I’ve got some good stuff here—want to join me?” When your dog chooses you, Not because they have to, but because they want tothat’s when world-class training results happen.
